Simplified Sintra - I had thought to do the trip to sintra independently and I'm so glad I didn't! There were people everywhere, and Diogo knew exactly where to be and when to make sure everything ran smoothly. It was so nice to just go along with everything sorted by someone else! It's a lot in one day, so for a little more time in Cascais I caught a later train back to Lisbon. Definitely worth the money

Beautiful experience with a perfect guide - With my partner we decided to book this full day tour to discover Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. From the first moment Diogo, our guide, was simply perfect: polite, kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. The qualities of a professional who loves his job are clearly perceived. With his passionate stories he made the beauties of these places even more fascinating. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Thanks for everything Diogo!
